Before the monastery, on the right (east) side of the road, within the fields is the Byzantine church of Agia Paraskevi.

The church of Agia Paraskevi has cruciform architecture with a large dome in the centre. Within the church is a grave that many believe is that of Georgios Hortatzis, the leader of the revolutions against the Venetians. The church used to have frescoes of the leaders of the revolution of 1272.
